TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 BMW M6 is a no-compromises kind of car for buyers unfazed by traditional sports car manufacturers. It's better suited for the streets than the track, and that's not a bad thing.

The 2016 Maserati Ghibli has tight back-seat space, and handling isn't best in class, but it has panache to burn.

TCC Likes

The M6 is shockingly fast
Gran Coupe is a sleeker alternative to the M5
Standard Active M differential to direct torque

Shapely, tailored look
Luxurious, modern interior
Strong turbo V-6 engine

TCC Dislikes

Big, heavy and cumbersome
Back seats are hardly usable
Carbon fiber roof is a little too much

Shy on back-seat space
Whuffling V-6 exhaust just isn't a V-8
A heavyweight in its class
